Abstract

High speed semiconductor lasers are an integral part of modern optical fiber communication systems which are operating at increasingly higher and higher bit rates. Modern day systems have data rates exceeding 100 GBit/s transmitting error free over virtually unlimited distances [1,2]. Many of these systems are also being applied to solve the speed bottlenecks in short haul interconnections between high speed computing elements and control processes.
